North Carolina State has earned back to back bowl berths, but now it’s time to take the program a step forward.
The Wolfpack will open their season with William & Mary, as they look to start their season off on the right foot Thursday night.
William & Mary
The Tribe look to have a similar performance to last year, as they found plenty of success in the CAA.

This team has a lot of promise though heading into this season and will feature a lot of returning players that can make a huge impact. QB Steve Cluley is one of them.
The senior QB has made 25 straight starts under center and has compiled nearly 5000 yards of passing.
Look for him and WR DeVonte Dedmon to have a lot of connections here if the Tribe want to have any success. Dedmon had 51 receptions in his sophomore season with 588 yards and 8 touchdowns to his credit.
NC State
NC State has a lot of obstacles ahead of them here in 2016.
The Wolfpack have gone to back to back bowl games, but without their QB from the previous seasons, along with a very tough schedule, things could be difficult.
QB Jalan McClendon will take over for Jacoby Brissett and while he has the making of a solid option at the QB spot, he doesn’t have much experience. McClendon has attempted just 14 passes in his career and will look to use this game to get his feet wet.

The key to the Wolfpack last season came from their defense. They ranked 29th in the country and caused a lot of havoc.
B.J. Hill, Justin Jones and Kentavius Street all return along with Bradley Chubb and Darian Roseboro, who all had major contributions in terms of being the backbone to this defense.
Chubb and Roseboro caused a lot of problems for the opposition as they were always in the backfield making tackles for losses or forcing rushed decisions.
